Visitors rave over the friendly and accommodating group tour staff and the more than 900 dedicated employees. This welcoming feeling is just one of the many things that make a trip to the Island memorable. Suddenly, there is a break in the trees, and out pops an eye-catching venue that appears to stretch for blocks, is flanked by hotel towers and seems to say, “Hello, we are here, and you are welcome!” That is the feeling tour groups have when arriving at the Island Resort and Casino in Harris, Michigan. When driving along miles of highway lined by farm fields and forestland, it is easy to believe one is in the middle of nowhere.
